Genuinely Em Sewing Patterns

Same for you?

I’m feeling inspired and ready for 2024!

I’ve heard it helps to pick a guiding word at the beginning of the year to help orientate yourself toward your goals.

This year I’ve chosen the word GROW.

I want to grow…

🌱 My partern making and pattern grading skills

🌱 The Genuinely Em sewing pattern collection

🌱 My technical sewing repertoire

🌱 Real and virtual sewing connections 🤝

Do you have any sewing goals or a guiding word for 2024?

I was inspired by and her guiding word post.

Mitchell Trousers View B Recap

I took my jacket off just to take these pics.

I LOVE these pants and keep on wearing them, which is always the true test of how much I like a pattern. ❤️

I made these for last month’s Sew Club. I was super thankful to have such a supportive group helping each other make these trousers!

The sewing is not so difficult but there are some technical steps that require some focus like the welt pockets and front fly zipper.

I found a super helpful sew-a-long video from that really helped me nail the fly front zipper on my first try.

I made a straight size 10. My body measurements put me more in the 12 range but I cross-checked with the final garment measurements and decided to make the smaller size. For reference, my waist is 29-30” and hips 40”. I’m super happy with the fit and actually it’s a little loose at the waist but those fun waist ties make it fit perfectly!

If you’d like to join Sew Club you can find the link to the group in my bio. We have some fun patterns lined up for next month!

✨Pattern testers wanted for the Florence dress pattern ✨

The testing starts tomorrow! So if you’re interested, find the link in my stories or bio to sign-up ☺️

Thank you to everyone who has already signed-up! I’m so excited about this pattern and so happy to see you all are too! 💕

Check the second slide to see ALL of the sizes for this dress. I’m really working on making my patterns size inclusive. I’d love to have a wide variety of testers to see how all the sizes fit on different bodies!
